"Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up" 1 Corinthians 13:8a (KJV).

"Well how come they're all broken? I thought you said you knew how to make cookies!" Chris said to his sister Lena.

"I followed mom's recipe and everything! It's not my fault the cookies split down the middle when they were baking! I was just trying to be nice Chris and help you out because I love you! If you don't want the cookies, throw them away; I don't care!" Lena said trying not to let her brother see the tears in her eyes. She stormed out of the kitchen. 

Chris looked disgustedly at the cookies. "What am I going to do?" he wondered. In exactly one hour Chris was suppose to be at his best friend and neighbor Todd's house with the cookies for their Sunday school class Valentine party. "I guess it really is my fault," thought Chris. He had forgotten until the day of the party to tell his Mother he had volunteered her to make cookies for the party. Mother had an important meeting to attend and couldn't make the cookies on such short notice.

"Maybe you and Poppa can dash to the bakery and buy some cookies," mother suggested. But Chris didn't want to do that. He had told everyone . . .
